from the official website: GARVEY ADDS STRIKER Former Blue Square Premier striker - switches to Cressing Road Braintree Town have signed 21 year old striker George Purcell from Blue Square Premier side Ebbsfleet United. George was spotted playing in the Gravesend youth leagues by Coca Cola Leaguers Gillingham and went through the youth ranks at Priestfield. Released in the summer of 2006 George, who can also play wide on the left, signed for Ebbsfleet following a successful trial in 2006. A skillful and pacey left winger or striker, George established himself more in the Ebbsfleet side during 2007-08, having enjoyed a handful of run-outs in the Conference the year before. Last season he spent time on loan at both Heybridge Swifts and Ramsgate, but featured regularly in a striker's role following his return to Stonebridge Road, making 20 appearances for the Kent club. Iron boss Robbie Garvey was delighted with his latest addition: "George is a lad I've been aware of for a year or two. He's done really well at Ebbsfleet and progressed with a couple of spells on loan with Ryman sides. Still only 21, he's hungry for success and I know he will do well for us at Cressing Road. With Matt Game and Sean Marks, plus one other striker I'm looking to sign, there will be plenty of options for me up front." ------------------ This must mean that Marks is staying? ?? Does Matt Game really play up front?

I believed Matt Game was a centre-midfielder, as on the Billericay site it stated that. Obviously he can play as a striker and that is where Garvey will choose to play him. And obviously it looks like Marksy will be staying which is good news.

As the man said: "obviously"! And you thought he was making it up as he went along ...
